Coming to the aid of harassed workers everywhere, this activity book puts the 'fun' in 'fundamental business principles' (and then makes you draw them). The perfect present for a colleague or an office secret santa, get everyone on the same page as you, and draw what success looks like today.

Reviews

Finkelstein demonstrates a unique talent for identifying important business lessons in places where others have failed to look

—— Russell Lewis, President & CEO, New York Times Company

I couldn't agree more with Sydney Finkelstein that innovation is part of the lead­ership DNA. The best bosses - superbosses - must foster a culture of innovation, encourage smart risk taking, remove obstacles, and drive change. They demand world-class performance and empower their teams to achieve it. Superbosses gives leaders a playbook to bring out the best in their people

—— Jeff Immelt, chairman and CEO, GE

Superbosses shows the incredible impact that great managers can have, both on their employees and on entire industries. Finkelstein has written a true leadership guide for the Networked Age

—— Reid Hoffman, cofounder and chairman, LinkedIn; coauthor of The Alliance

Superbosses is the rare business book that is chock-full of new, useful, and often unexpected ideas. After you read Finkelstein's well-crafted gem, you will never go about leading, evaluating, and developing talent in quite the same way

—— Robert Sutton, author of Scaling Up Excellence and The No Asshole Rule

A smart leader surrounds himself with smart people. Through his book Superbosses, Finkelstein shows the surprising ways leaders actually find, develop, and grow a team of curious, talented individuals

—— Millard Drexler, chairman and CEO, J.Crew Group

Maybe you're a decent boss. But are you a superboss? That's the question you'll be asking yourself after reading Sydney Finkelstein's fascinating book. By revealing the secrets of superbosses from finance to fashion and from cooking to comic books, Finkelstein offers a smart, actionable playbook for anyone trying to become a better leader.

—— Daniel H. Pink, author of To Sell is Human and Drive

Superbosses is one of the most important, groundbreaking, and actionable leadership books to hit the market in years. Finkelstein has done the hard work of proving,through deep research and analysis, and showing, through colorful stories and examples, that the way the best leaders succeed is by unleashing creativity, inno-vation, and motivation through their approaches to hiring and management. But here's the best news: these lessons are teachable and directly applicable, whether you are a chief executive, a soccer coach, or an aspiring young professional

—— James M. Citrin, author of The Career Playbook; leader, CEO Practice, Spencer Stuart

First and foremost, this is a book about leadership - how the best recruit, nurture, and build teams of strong leaders. Consider it a beacon, written about superbosses who manage talent innovatively and achieve unrivaled success in their field - and written for those who want to excel and play at the top of their game. Sydney Finkelstein has nailed it

—— General James Amos, USMC (Ret.), 35th commandant of the Marine Corps

Brian Biro brilliantly outlines how to deliver breakthrough results, energize, engage, and motivate your teams to seize key opportunities. I highly recommend There Are No Overachievers for anyone looking to become a more effective leader or manager.

—— Johann Fernando, Ph.D., Chief Operating Officer at FUJIFILM Medical Systems USA, Inc

The answer is YES!, Now what’s the question?….This is Brian Biro in one sentence. Positive approaches create trust. I have known and worked with Brian for over 20 years. This extraordinary book provides all the lessons that one needs to be successful and most importantly fulfilled at what they do.

I’ve witnessed Brian lead thousands on a journey to self-discovery. He is an amazing coach with a rare talent to channel a person’s inner desire to spur positive change in their lives. Now he powers that passion for professional and personal development into There Are No Overachievers. This book, like Brian’s presentations in person, is unforgettable!

—— Melissa Brisbois, Executive Vice President of J. Hilburn

The central thesis behind There Are No Overachievers is that we are all UNDERachievers. Regardless of how great our performance in a particular area, we are all capable of doing and being so much more! I highly recommend it, both as a personal guide for getting more out of your personal and professional life, as well as a teaching aid for managers and leaders who want to bring out the best in their team.

—— Keith Challenger, Managing Partner at KCI.media

Truly inspiring. There Are No Overachievers is filled with stories that moved me, and insights that stuck with me long after reading.

—— Prosper Nwankpa, co-founder and CTO of Avanoo

A masterful presentation of simple, yet transformational principles that can be used immediately to enhance relationships and careers. When you read There Are No Overachievers, you will begin looking at your life through a new lens of passion, gratitude and service.

—— John Locke, Master Networker

Seeing Brian live is always a treat, but reading There Are No Overachievers is like having Brian with me every day. The chapter called “Be Easy to Impress and Hard to Offend” really struck a chord in me. Look for ways to be impressed, and instead of taking offense at criticism you encounter, transform negative feedback into ways to improve, exceed expectations, and generate loyalty. It is at the heart of everything our company is about, and has helped us build the largest global sourcing association in the world. My copy is dog-eared already; I will be referring to for years to come.

—— Dawn Tiura, CEO of SIG: The Executive Sourcing Network

The inspiration and stories in There Are No Overachievers opened my eyes to the many “windows of opportunity” that can help me make a positive difference. It has ignited my own energy and purpose to live this journey called life with more JOY!

—— Dana. L. Stonestreet, Bank Chairman, President and CEO of HomeTrust

Phenomenal! Brian Biro offers us a clear path to increased personal performance and greater success in every area of our lives. And what we get along the way is the life we’ve always wanted.

—— Dr. John B. Waterhouse, Former President and Field Leader of Centers for Spiritual Living

The simplicity of Brian Biro’s message, and compelling nature of the stories he tells makes this book a win for everyone. Read it, follow Brian’s guidance and you are sure to reach the mountain top!

—— Dr. Barbara Waterhouse, Senior Minister at Center for Spiritual Living, Asheville

"What would you do if you knew you could not fail?” It’s a question I posed often to our oldest daughter when she was competing internationally. I never thought of it being my own motto – until reading There Are No Overachievers. After nearly 20 years, I am still learning from Brian Biro’s life lessons – and I’m now aware of how important they are in the “transition” stage of my life, both personally and professionally. Thanks so much for the reminder, Brian!

—— Suzan O Sweeney, AVP of External Partnerships at The Hartford

Over the years, I’ve read hundreds of leadership books, but There Are No Overachievers stands alone. It’s an insightful and astute guide on how to be your very best at home and at work. Although I’ve been fortunate to enjoy great success in my career overall, there are so many times that I missed my window of opportunity to positively impact others’ lives. I was too easy to offend and hard to impress. Brian Biro is a life-changer. I enthusiastically recommend this book. It will bring you closer to your colleagues, your friends, and your loved ones.

—— Naomi Cramer, SVP and Chief HR Officer at Banner Health
